目的：确定与怀孕有关的凶杀案件，并估计由现任或前任亲密伴侣实施的比例。方法：利用出生和死亡证明、法医记录、警察记录和新闻出版物，对1993年至2008年马里兰州居民发生的与怀孕有关的凶杀案进行分析。结果：110例凶杀案是怀孕期间和产后第一年的主要死亡原因。25岁以下的非裔美国女性和未婚女性被杀的风险最高。枪械是最常见的死亡方式(61.8%)。在54.5%(n=60)的凶杀案中，54.5%(n=60)的凶杀案和31.8%(n=35)的非性伴侣是犯罪者。如果排除无法确定受害者和罪犯关系的案件(n=15)，63.2%的杀人案是由亲密伴侣实施的。与行凶者不是亲密伴侣的凶杀案相比，这一比例明显更高(P
OBJECTIVE: To identify pregnancy-associated homicide cases and to estimate the proportion that were perpetrated by a current or former intimate partner.METHODS: This was an analysis of pregnancy-associated homicides occurring from 1993 to 2008 among Maryland residents using linked birth and death certificates, medical examiner charts, police records, and news publications.RESULTS: Homicides (n = 110) were the leading cause of death during pregnancy and the first postpartum year. Women who were African American, younger than 25 years, and unmarried were at the highest risk for homicide. Firearms were the most common (61.8%) method of death. A current or former intimate partner was the perpetrator in 54.5% (n = 60) of homicide deaths and a nonpartner in 31.8% (n = 35). If the cases (n = 15) in which the victim-offender relationship could not be identified are excluded, 63.2% of homicides were committed by an intimate partner. Compared with homicides in which the perpetrator was not an intimate partner, a significantly higher percentage (P
